About the charity

We’re ActionAid. We’re people who are dedicated to ending the extreme poverty that kills 28 children every minute of every day. We’re a charity and much more. We’re a partnership between people in poor countries and people in rich countries – all working together to end poverty for good. ActionAid is a unique partnership of people who are fighting for a better world - a world without poverty. As one of the UK's largest development agencies, we work in more than 50 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, listening to, learning from and working in partnership with over 19 million of the world's poorest people.
